Associate Professor Akira Takatsuki’s Conjecture Novel Vol. 03

Naoya Fukamachi is a university student whose ability to infallibly detect lies has left him friendless and isolated. When he writes a paper about a strange festival he wandered into as a child, though, he catches the fancy of his folklore studies professor, Akira Takatsuki, a handsome and eccentric man with a passion for all things mysterious. Soon, Naoya finds himself working as Akira’s assistant, helping him interpret an array of unexplainable phenomena, from haunted objects and cursed effigies to urban legends. As this odd couple continues their investigations, however, Naoya realizes that his professor has had a few bizarre childhood experiences of his own…

The difference between damnation and celebration is paper-thin. At the same time, Takatsuki and Naoya learn of the urban legend about “Library Marie”. Apparently if you solve a hidden cipher in the library collection, you’ll be cursed. “The unlucky letter and cursed cipher.” Upon investigating the legend of a demon god in a village, in a grotto they find a skull with a hole in it. Soon after, Takatsuki is plagued by unexpected suffering. How will Naoya help him out of this one?!
